Beyoncé Hops On Remix for Puerto Rico Relief
Beyoncé has joined the chorus of celebrities raising awareness and money for Puerto Rico, the island U.S. territory that was battered by Hurricane Maria recently. Specifically, she's jumped onto a remix of J Balvin and Willy William's Spanish-language hit "Mi Gente," promising to donate her proceeds from the song to Maria relief efforts.
Bey likes to upload multiple posts of one outfit, oftentimes setting at least one post to music. Thursday's outfit posts included a teaser video of her "Mi Gente" contribution, with the caption:
"I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands. To help go to Beyonce.com/reliefefforts."
Her #BEYGOOD initiative also includes links for donating to help victims of Mexico's recent earthquakes, Florida victims of Hurricane Irma, and of course, victims of Hurricane Harvey in her hometown, Houston.
As for the remix itself? Bey sings along to many of the original Spanish verses (longtime fans know she sometimes switches into Spanish lyrics for her own songs), but her original full verse contains a cheeky shoutout to husband JAY Z, who dedicated much of his latest album 4:44 to exploring their relationship, as well as her new twins Rumi and Sir:
"I been giving birth on these haters 'cause I'm fertile / See these double Cs on this bag, murda / Want my double Ds in his bed, Serta / If you really love me make an album about me, word up"
As well as a shoutout to the people affected by recent natural disasters:
"Slay / Lift up your people / From Texas, Puerto Rico / Dem' islands to México (Freeze)"
Bey looking good? Always. Bey referencing pop culture rumors about her life in a remix? Always. Bey donating to vicitms of and raising awareness of global disasters? Slay.
